MTV DJ Joins MTV Music Generator

Today, publisher Codemasters announced that DJ Funkmaster Flex, host of MTV's "Direct Effect" and otherwise noted hip-hop personality, will be the official US spokesperson for MTV Music Generator 2 on PlayStation 2. Flex will also contribute two pre-recorded tracks for manipulation by enterprising composers.

MTV Music Generator 2, sequel to the PlayStation's MTV Music Generator, is an updated and expanded version of Codemasters' already powerful music creation engine, allowing users to create and manipulate their own tracks in a variety of styles with many different tools. Flex is only one of several contributing artists, who will be announced at a later date.
